Jesus Didn’t Command Easter—He Commanded This
Jesus gave clear instructions on the night He was betrayed—before Passover. He took the bread and the cup, washed His disciples’ feet, and commanded us to do this in remembrance of Him. This happened on Abib 13, the night before Passover—not Easter. The Apostle Paul later confirmed this command in 1 Corinthians 11, teaching believers how to observe it under the New Covenant. If we know exactly what Jesus and the early believers practiced, why wouldn’t we do the same today? Learn how the early Christians commemorated the Messiah’s death and resurrection and how you can do this wherever you are. May Yahweh bless you and keep you, in the name of His Son, Yeshua. Dates and video instructions for obeying Yeshua’s instructions are here https://firstcenturychristianity.net/holy-day-dates/

Romans 2 Explained: God’s Judgment, Hypocrisy, Law, Grace, and Being Doers of the Word
This teaching on Romans Chapter 2 confronts one of the most misunderstood truths in modern Christianity: God judges according to deeds, not religious identity or empty confession. Paul addresses both Jews and Gentiles, exposing hypocrisy, false assurance, and the danger of hearing God’s Word without obeying it.
Using Scripture from Romans 2, James 1, Matthew 16, Job, Mark 7, and Revelation, this lesson explains why the Law reveals sin, why grace does not excuse unrighteous living, and why true faith is demonstrated through obedience. Circumcision of the heart—not outward religion—is what God honors.
This study is a sober reminder that Christians are called to live in a way that protects the holiness of God’s name and the integrity of His church before the world.
Living as Christians in Babylon | Biblical Conduct & Faith in Action
Living as Christians in Babylon
This teaching explores biblical Christian behavior in today’s world, drawing from Genesis through Revelation to explain how believers are called to live faithfully in modern society.

This is a call to live out the Bible daily—at work, at home, in relationships, and in public—so that our lives strengthen the witness of the Gospel and honor God in every area.
The Council of Laodicea and the Break from Biblical Christianity
The early followers of Yeshua worshiped on Shabbat, studied Torah in the synagogue, and understood faith through the Scriptures. So when—and why—did Christianity change?
This video examines the Council of Laodicea in the late fourth century, the historical moment when church leadership formally separated Christians from Jewish practice, biblical feasts, and Torah‑centered worship. By looking at Scripture, Acts 15, Paul’s teachings, and church history, this message challenges modern assumptions about early Christianity and calls believers to re‑examine the faith once delivered.

Faith vs Works: Resurrection, Judgment, and What the Bible Really Teaches
Are believers judged by works, or by faith alone?
What does the Bible actually teach about resurrection, judgment, and obedience?
In this in‑depth Bible teaching, we examine faith, works, and judgment using Scripture from John, Matthew, Romans, Isaiah, Psalms, Luke, 1 Peter, and the Torah. The teaching explains the difference between the resurrection of life and the resurrection of judgment, and why Scripture consistently teaches that works matter as evidence of genuine faith.
This study challenges modern interpretations of “faith alone,” explains why Paul is not a new Moses, and shows how first‑century believers demonstrated faith through obedience and righteous deeds. It also explores early church history, the separation from synagogue worship, and how creeds replaced lived, biblical faith.
This is not a works‑based salvation message. Salvation is by faith — but biblical faith produces action, and judgment is rendered according to deeds, as taught throughout the whole Bible.

n this in‑depth Bible sermon, Corky Wilson teaches from Romans chapter 1, explaining how the righteousness of God is revealed through the gospel of Christ.

Drawing from Romans, Psalms, Isaiah, Habakkuk, Galatians, and 2 Corinthians, this sermon challenges modern misunderstandings of God’s love by presenting a biblical view of holiness, faith, and accountability. A serious and thought‑provoking teaching on living by faith and honoring God’s truth in every generation.
How Paul Preached Jesus From the Old Testament: The Messiah Explained From Torah
How did the apostle Paul preach Jesus (Yeshua) as the Messiah to Gentiles who had no knowledge of the Torah or the prophets?
In this in‑depth Bible teaching, we explore how the Messiah is revealed throughout the Old Testament, long before the New Testament existed. Paul and the apostles proclaimed the gospel using Genesis, the Psalms, Deuteronomy, and the Prophets, proving that Yeshua is God’s anointed servant‑king promised from the beginning.
This teaching covers:
- Why first‑century Gentiles did not understand the concept of a Messiah
- How Paul preached the gospel without a New Testament
- The true biblical meaning of Messiah (Mashiach) and Christ (Christos)
- Why Scripture repeatedly refers to God’s “anointed one”
- How Moses, David, Saul, and the prophets foreshadowed the ultimate Messiah
- The relationship between Yahweh, the Messiah, and divine authority
- Why repentance and accepting the Messiah cannot be separated
- Why you cannot fully understand Jesus without the Old Testament
This message restores the Hebrew foundation of faith and demonstrates that the Messiah is not hidden in Scripture—He is revealed everywhere once you know how to read the Bible as one unified story.
If you have ever wondered whether you can truly preach Jesus from the Torah, this teaching provides a clear, scriptural answer.
Repentance & Teshuva: Understanding Biblical Repentance Through Torah and Yeshua
Repentance & Teshuva: Understanding Biblical Repentance Through Torah and Yeshua
Repentance—teshuva—is one of the most foundational yet misunderstood teachings in Scripture. This post explores the true biblical meaning of repentance as revealed through the Torah, the Prophets, the writings of the apostles, and the life and resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah.
Drawing from passages such as Acts 2, Romans 1, 1 John 3, and Hebrews 4, this teaching breaks down repentance as more than a feeling of regret. It is a turning around, a returning to YHVH, and a realignment of our lives with His Torah and His ways. The Hebrew and Greek words—metanoeō, epistrephō, shub, nacham—all reveal dimensions of change, transformation, and returning to the path of righteousness.
Key themes explored in this teaching include:
- The call to repentance given by Peter after Yeshua’s resurrection
- How sin is defined in Scripture as lawlessness—a breaking of Torah
- Why the more we understand, the more accountable we become
- How repentance is both confession and active change
- The connection between repentance and baptism
- The role of Yeshua’s sacrifice in restoring us to God
- The deep meaning of examining ourselves before Passover
- The ongoing need to turn toward God and away from sin
This post also looks at the historical and cultural context of the crucifixion, the spiritual implications of rejecting God’s righteousness, and the hope offered through the Holy Spirit.
Whether you’re exploring repentance & teshuva for the first time or strengthening your walk in Torah and Messiah, this in‑depth study will equip you with a clearer, richer understanding of biblical teshuva and the life‑changing power of returning to YHVH with your whole heart.
